OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra achieves impressive autonomous PC control by pairing a multimodal visual perception loop with native OS driver tool-calls (clicks, typing, terminal commands). However, because an autoregressive LLM still acts as the central brain, it fundamentally relies on probabilistic pattern-matching rather than true causal world models and planning. While it dramatically improves desktop workflow automation, scaling LLM-driven agency remains an evolutionary step, not the paradigm shift required to achieve genuine AGI.
